I live in St. Daegun Community, Damyang, where I am involved with the Home for the Elderly. This is located in a very beautiful region of Korea which is famous for its scenery and bamboo forests.  I provide programs for the elderly in the Home as a social worker.  Most of the elderly in the Home are suffering from geriatric illnesses such as dementia, or are post-stroke clients. Working with the elderly can be very pleasant but sometimes it can be difficult. For example, one client would constantly ask for the door to be opened to let him go home; another client would not allow anyone to enter her room because she was suspicious; another client was always calling out loud her children’s names. As a Brother working in the home I have had many experiences - both good and bad. I often have to prepare visitors who are visiting the home, and explain to them about the daily routine of the clients. I am fully aware that as a Brother of St John of God I have obligations to the elderly in my care; to ensure their comfort and safety, and also make sure that their final days are relaxed, by creating for them an environment in which they feel secure. I am really enjoying this life with its many unpredictable but rewarding moments, its continuing ups and downs. I feel called by God to live with the elderly and to share in the last days of their lives.
